Mission Project: Video Report of Mission San Buenaventura

Knowing that a mission project was to be due this unit for my daughter, we ventured out to Mission Buenaventura in Ventura County, CA. For this project, we worked on the writeup script, voice over and editing for the video. Yes, I helped like any parent would help an 8 year old complete such a project but all was pretty much her idea, guiding, and final say of what went into her project. After a couple of day’s work and a couple of hours after midnight, this was the finished video.

Along with this, she included a paper report on the mission and a model of the mission. In our rush to finish and turn everything in, we forgot to take a picture of her model. We will add that on here later. Meanwhile, here are some of the pictures we took from our visit to Mission Buenaventura.

San Buenaventura Bird’s Eye view early 1800sDrawings depicting the lives of the Chumash natives in the mission.Located behind the church is a burial spot with this sign of three padres on the mission property.This is the view of the bell tower looking up from the inner courtyard.This is the San Buenaventura altar seen from the 7th row pew. Some of the wood seen here was from wood of the original altar and showcased the wood craftsmanship of the Chumash people.This was where the water from the San Buenaventura river came in. It allowed for things in the water to settle before it went out to the mission for use.The olive press shows the earliest method of pressing oil from olive.The Chumash mixed their new lives with their traditional lives living in huts on mission grounds.Since it’s peak in the 1800s, many changes have taken place at the mission. Today, only the church, the center courtyard, and some of its surrounding buildings of the courtyard remain. The area on the right that is a smaller courtyard is no longer there and has been turned into small stores that line Main St. To the left of the church is a closed off field that has been set aside for archeologists.

This is #lolitaii with its color that reminds me of red dessert sand or the color Terra-cotta, as seen from a type of clay used to make abs color ceramics. It’s pretty. I definitely would like more colors in this #vegan #studdedkiss formula. What’s your must have #studdedkisslipstick color?.
